Premier Subaru Watertown Presents a Check For $34,047 to The Harold Leever Regional Cancer
WATERBURY, Conn. (PRWEB) May 21, 2018 -- Robert J. Alvine, President, Premier Subaru Watertown, presented The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center with a check for $34,047 this afternoon at the Center’s facilities in Waterbury, CT. The donation represented the proceeds from the tenth annual “Share the Love” event, in which anyone that purchased or leased a new Subaru could make a $250 donation to one of four national charities – ASPCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Meals on Wheels Association of America, the National Park Foundation – or a fifth local charity for their customers to support. Premier Subaru Watertown selected The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center as their “hometown charity” for the 2017 campaign for the second year in a row. Total contributions from Premier Subaru to Leever Center exceed $58,000 over the last two years.
“I am honored to participate with such an organization. An organization that brings world-class cancer care to cancer patients and their families throughout the Waterbury area” remarked Robert J. Alvine, President of Premier Subaru Watertown. “We are proud to have raised this money and deeply thank our customers and employees.”
“Share the Love” ran from November 16, 2017 to Jan. 2, 2018 and was expected to donate up to $25 million over the course of the campaign nationwide. In the last ten years, Subaru of America has donated over $115 million to different charities. In 2013, Subaru of America gave retailers the option to add a local charity. Premier Subaru Watertown has built upon that, being, one of the very few in the country that also matches the dollars raised through Subaru of America.
The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center opened its doors in 2002 as a comprehensive cancer center. The idea for the Center was born in 1995, when both Saint Mary’s Hospital and Waterbury Hospital were facing the need to replace aging radiation oncology equipment and upgrade their current cancer care facilities. It was decided that the best way to accomplish this goal was to combine forces to build a new state of the art facility.
Premier Subaru Watertown is located at 795 Straits Turnpike, Watertown, CT. Premier Subaru Watertown is a repeated winner of Subaru of America’s highest awards for customer satisfaction. Plus, it has been A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau since it’s founding.
Premier has also been involved in a number of philanthropic organizations including New Opportunities – Meals on Wheels, Jane Doe No More, and the American Cancer Society. Premier Subaru Watertown is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about Premier Subaru Watertown, you can visit us online or call directly at (860)274-8866
